Russia may be ready to attack NATO in 5-8 years, German official says
Russia could potentially be prepared to launch an attack on NATO countries in five to eight years, according to Germany’s top military official, Lieutenant General Carsten Breuer. This readiness would come after Russia rebuilds its forces following the impact of the Ukraine war. President Vladimir Putin has denied any intentions of attacking NATO countries, but tensions remain high. Russia currently controls almost a fifth of Ukrainian territory and is increasing its military capabilities. Germany’s chief of defense emphasized the need for NATO to be prepared for a potential threat from Russia in the next five to eight years.
